@28mistert if you notice he has a Mini toggle switch his guitar is wired sot hat he can split the humbucker this is common for player's that require single coil type tone's
@guitarworld You should link the video here to the lesson "Jerry Donahue - Around the Bend #2" because that video goes very indepth in how to utilize that style of bending, which Jerry is the master of.
it's amazing how looks can deceive... I mean he looks like he's going to play speed ghostrider licks from hell... and then he happens to play country root licks.... what the fuck? :-S
@manchow7 Enharmoincally.. yes. But to build an E major chord, it's E-G#-B (all thirds). In plus, E major has 4 sharps.. no flats. Hah. Sorry.. I'm just a little OCD, sir.
in a few words, this guy is what I call "a guitar player who I don't like but I have to admit that he knows what he is doing so he es a very good guitar player"
This guy has some of the most interesting licks and is a very talented player and teacher. they should put more people like him on that b.s. like Black veil brides.
@ArchieIsted Hendrix does the double sting bend in one of his more popular song but i forgot which one. Maybe hendrix invented it, like everything else lol
@JeevesMorris1 haha FUCK SATAN, you wussies !!! real men will some day take back this country and you (the biggest douchebags in american history) will get some fucking ammo to your worthless brainz !!!
@therockkkkher You know what's funny? All the religious freaks like you are going anti-gun and supporting disarming. It's atheists that will one day own this country and abolish that fucking stupid saying "under god".
@therockkkkher Really dude? His looks is what you're commenting on? lol... with a name like yours I'd hope you'd know that in the history of rock, "image" hasn't exactly been a concern. It's always been about the music. Why don't you show us HALF the skill that he possesses whilst dressing properly and THEN gain the right to comment on his image.
@therockkkkher When it became cool to look like a senseless douchebag who honestly thinks an intelligent human being cares about what he thinks and can only express himself by insulting others.
@DTPVH FUCK YOU BITCH, AMERICA WASNT BUILT ON PANSYS, IT WAS BUILT BY REAL MEN THAT KNEW HOW TO FIGHT AND LIFT TWO HUNDRED FUCKING POUNDS IN THE STEEL MILL, AND ROCK THE FUCK OUT AFTER !!! not dressing up to look evil or what the fuck ever cause that bitch aint killed anyone so he aint so fucking evil now is he ?!?
@therockkkkher Wasn't it started before the industrial revolution and the 70's? I think you should learn some facts before you try to argue with the actual intelligent people on this video.

Even though his Tele has dual humbuckers there's still that nice Tele twang going on clean. Great sounding guitar and an awesome player.
